trict, the Superintendent may from time to time, if
it shall seem fit so to do, by Proclamation, appoint
that any roads or parts of roads, whether within or

roads or main district roads, and every such appoint-
ment on the like application from time to time may,
if it shall seem fit so to do, revoke; and every such
Proclamation shall be published in the Gazette:
